I didn't intend for this to turn into a clusterf#@ of logic and semantics, although I should have know better trying to post anything with a modicum of deference towards the Xbox One on this site.

I did write the OP after reading the article Vitro points out.

And I can certainly understand the opinion that the Kinect is a peripheral.

I just simply don't agree. I think it devalues what Microsoft is trying to do and furthermore, I appreciate their attempt at doing things a little differently.
I don't mind the xtra $100 because I see the benefits there.
Others don't... no worries either way.

Look its simple really.

What are Microsoft's Priorities with the Xbox One?

We can only surmize that with their decisions.

Thus, Until they reduce the price, they care more about there loss on sales rather than Kinect User Base.

And since this is a sale site, the common consesus will agree with the move that garners the most console sales.

KInect Userbase is more important than Xbox 1 sales to Microsoft, at least thats how it looks from here.

I think MS's priority is to make X1 appeal to a broad number of gamers. And the plan is to use Kinect to do this. So i guess they are thinking long term and not short term.

But like i said in a previous post MS needs to show the added value of Kinect. This needs to be done through Kinect specific games.
